Friday was the MIME graduation ceremony. I was hooded by my professor. This is from before the lineup and processional into the concert hall.
David’s two kids were having fun hiding in his robes.
Marching in.
The platform party including the invited speaker telling us to have a good time and not sweat the small things.
Getting hooded. I had to bend down so that my professor could put the hood on me. Rob and Toni were having a good laugh over the height differential and also the words that the MCs read about me. I made sure that they read something funny.
Sitting back down after getting my hood. Academic swag!
With my professor. My hands seem to have vanished.
The new PhDs and our professor.
Three PhDs fresh from the academic salt mines.
With my parents.
I am surprised Heather put up with me writing my dissertation for so long!
Rob, me, and Irem.
The whole family.
